From Turoa via Pare Col

From the end of the Ohakune Mountain Road, walk up the skiﬁeld cat track, and make your way up to the top of the Jumbo T-bar at 2200m. One-way lift tickets are not available on this side of the mountain. From here, leave the skiﬁeld boundary and climb in a northerly direction on a rising traverse aiming for a broad ridge at about 2350m. Continue on a rising traverse around the mountain, over rough scree by late summer, into the Mangaturuturu Glacier basin. Climb up to Pare Col at the head of the snowﬁeld, overlooking Crater Lake.
